Real Life was a new
wave synthpop band from down under. They formed in
Melbourne in the early 1980's. After working
nearly every night in the clubs and building a name for
themselves locally, they released their first sing, the
hit song "Send Me An Angel", in 1983.

The band's first studio album,
Heartland (1983), not only featured the
aforementioned song, but also the hit song "Catch Me I'm
Falling". It is worth mentioning that the band
released a re-mix version of "Send Me an Angel" in 1989,
which charted even higher then than in 1983. Their
1985 release, Flame, did not fair nearly as well, but
still featured the minor hit "Face to Face".

Real Life continued
producing well into the 1990's and beyond, with their
latest studio album, at the time of this writing, being
2004's
Imperfection. Although the membership of
the band has changed over the years, they continued to
be active on stage well into the 2000's. At the
